I don't know why you can't plug two guitars…this would be an amazing feature.
Hi, I just purchased a helix floor, I've been reading the manual and watching videos for 2 days, but I'm older and so much technology is difficult for me. I have a setlist of sounds already set and I would like to be able to store one in each snapshot, can you kindly help me so I can have everything in each switch. thank you so much
Not having hx edit for Windows 11 is a shame????
You really didn't see much in this era being treated with this kind of good governance.
So, my lads and ladies, where can I download the preset you used in the demo?
If you advertise the functions so much, put it in a preset available for download. Customers might be able to still learn something from it.
Well I just invested in the flagship, had the Stomp XL for two years and wanted more. Hope you don't phase it out anytime soon, not much reason to, just keep tweaking it!
I hope the next flagship brings back more attention to vocal processing. Some of the older units did that better. I hate some of the smaller helix units that don’t process vocals. I’m still using an old x3 live for singing and it sounds amazing
Can this be used to play directly into the PA (without any other preamps)?
bro bro loves his coffee
Can we request helix to have a drum machine/looper? Pls. Those cheap multi effects out there have it why not in helix
I just bought one of these things in 2-2024. I wanted one for a while, replaced my pod500x.
I have a stack of real amps I think I will sell now. I used to prefer them to the pod, but the helix is good enough to make me happy with the sound.
I have POD HD500x 🙂 still rocking
that was exhausting to watch, wow. Great video, it's just the number of features and variables that are available in this pedal seems overwhelming.
Waaaaaaaaaaay too complicated for me. I just want dial up tones.
????mamamia ..
Maybe it's ok for the studio but I don't really trust digital gear for live gifs. Way too may opportunities for malfunctioning
This proof you cannot do much anymore. You can only enhance what is available. Just like mobile phones.
I'm waiting for the Line 6 Helix Floor "Mark II" to hit the market. Imho it won't pass much time before we can see this and I don't want to expend so much money if in a few months another unit with touchscreen, wfi and an improved UI shows up. Until then I will wait with my Headrush Pedalboard. 🙂
Time for a refresh? Touch Screen / Bluetooth / USB C Port ? Indeed I have a Stomp XL and I prefer edit with the computer software but if touchscreen and Bluetooth connection would be even easier (no need to move pedals close to computer etc)
Line 6 Tech team has done one heck of job with their products! They are so easy to understand and customize and all in all, the devs have done a good job with the responsive UI which interacts with connected system without delays. My helix floor is absolute pleasure to play with and its one of the best decision I've made. I am very curious to know what's next… What is Line 6 working on… Hoping their next flagship beats out other pedals again!!! People are still comparing newer pedals with Helix.. @Line6 hope you guys give us a peek into the future.
8 years old. Wow. Since 2015
Line6 really innovated the way musicians can integrate their instruments with an all-in-one complete packaged tone machine without having to purchase separate components… It's all there in front of you! Agree with previous post (@Omega-Ignition) … Helix is more relevant now than before. Always a treat exploring everything without a doubt… However I know there is a lot more I haven't explored yet!
Why did they make it this complex?????
Good video but as far as the product, I wouldn’t have it where you got to go through 67 changes to get what you want. I want a one button push down.
Fine job covering a multitude of features in a concise and clear manner, Paul!
That Yamaha guitar with the reverse inline headstock is amazing!
????????❤️????????
I bought my Helix Lt and now a Dm4 pedal!I have Line 6 with me more than 10 years!I will use for the rest of my life!????????????
Helix is probably the single best music purchase I've ever made. All in one rig, mixer, pedal board, interface…. I'm still happy 6 years later. I'm curious of the timing of this video…hmmm
Helix was the best purchase decision in my life.
Only issue is that my footswitches are dying and I might have to purchase a whole new Helix unit just because a half of my footswitches are dead.
Any suggestions anyone?
I own this fantastic product, worth every penny
Yamaha and Line6 = Winning!!!
this thing is already 8 years old.
but still about 1.5K on the market ????
I love you Line 6!❤️
so can i just hook that pedal up to a marshall amp set to a clean tone?
I like that guitar.
Love it. My Helix LT is awesome.
Wow
one day I will have this pedalboard
Inputs and separate channels along with control centre make this a versatile unit for guitars synths bass and vox
I love snapshoot from helix❤❤
I love my helix but after so many years I am a bit bored and would like to try something new. I hope they come up with something new soon. At the moment I am on the waiting list for an FM9 but it seems like a PITA to have to wait to buy something.
I've had mine for a few years and still love it. So easy to start a new preset and get inspired. Update days are always fun. Midi is a must now and works seamlessly having reaper change presets during a set. If there was a wishlist for a helix floor mkii….touchscreen, bluetooth to connect wireless headphones, and an on board power amp to run to a cab.
I've had mine since they came out. It's absolutely incredible that in this day and age a piece of electronic gear can last this long without a hardware update and still be cutting edge. I was excited when Yamaha bought Line 6 because I had already been using Yamaha modeling tech and it was a perfect fit. I figured it would be a huge boost for Line 6 and I was right.
The new Grammatico Amp model is the best addition yet.
Have had the helix since 2019, love it every time I plug in! So useful beyond guitar as well! It takes some time to get used to, but if you do an hour worth of research on some specifics, you’ll be in a pretty good spot to get your own tones rolling.
I also feel you need a degree to get good tones straight out the box. "Oh you need a compressor in between the amp and cab" etc etc etc etc high cut here, low cut here. I wish it just sounded good out the box. Great piece of gear but not the easiest to get good tones straight away
i love my. helix, i've never gone back to my amps ever sinice 2019, amazing piece of gear
I love mine, go from sad but true to purple rain with a button
Wow this sounds really good. I have a cheaper and easier modeller from Sonicake but would eventually consider something like this.
